İzmir's oldest known settlement; the remains of a Neolithic village dating back about 8500 years.
Its story
Yeşilova Höyüğü (Yeşilova Mound) is on the bank of the Manda Çayı on the Bornova Plain and was discovered in 2003. It was found that the settlement was used continuously from about 6500 to 4000 BC and later buried by alluvium. At that time the gulf shore was farther inland than today, and the surroundings were wetter. The site has a reconstructed Neolithic village and a visitor center.
